Headlines
I mentioned Geoff Cameron's knee injury yesterday and how he would likely be unfit for the Mexico match on Friday. Well, Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has asked Jurgenn Klinsmann to leave the defender off the roster for next weekend's qualifiers. Hughes said he would be "aggrieved" if he was, in fact, called up. The roster for this round of qualifiers will be announced later today.
